Wait, what? Money is real? I thought it was just a collectively-imagined pile of IOUs to keep track of how many favors someone is owed.

Why do you think AGI is desirable?

This is what licensing negotiations are for. One doesn't get to throw up their hands and say "I don't know how to fairly pay you so I won't pay you at all".

Not all transactions are grifts, because frequently something for sale will have different values to the buyer and seller. Things aren't strictly worth what you can sell them for, unless the only thing you want to do with the thing is

That kind of text is valuable as a signaling exercise - the author is willing to claim the text as indicating their actual beliefs. Writing it with AI would actually damage the author's credibility since it's no longer their words

The market doesn't help the post author precisely because GenAI researchers and organizations are claiming fair use in the particular way they are. The only way an artist can prevent them from appropriating artwork without permission i

I think this is the best explanation. I myself spent enormous time on Factorio "model trains" and it was even better because my train decisions were always motivated by an external requirement in the game. Model trains by themselv

The GP directly calling me "daft" was unwarranted.

I'd 100% expect game studios to move to pure AI voices as soon as it's feasible to do so. There are even very strong use cases for it, like using it to voice generated dialogue so that NPCs don't need to be scripted word-for-

I understand the fine details and it looks terrible. What it looks like, from top to bottom, is that GenAI researchers and developers are engaged in mass theft and free-riding of everyone else's work.

I expect that the people directly involved in protecting elections are sincerely concerned, and almost no-one else is. > so too will OpenAI work closely with campaigns to define the line of acceptable use to be whatever the fuck it is t

There's no way to know if they switched models unless they publicly admit it, because the nature of the tech makes it extremely hard to know why it does any specific thing at all, let alone to debug it to find out why it didn't do

No-one fundamentally understands LLMs. It's inherent to the technology.

This is why none of this should have been invented.

It's totally reasonable to favor gun rights and AI caution at the same time. Guns, after all, really don't act without human involvement, whereas the whole point of AI is to act without human involvement.

AI is a force multiplier. The more people with access to it, the better a chance that someone will do a lot of damage, by choice or by accident.

It's not about the price, it's about getting a more trustworthy device.

I blame AI because this was all 100% foreseeable. I also blame the people using AI to make trash, but hustlers gonna hustle and shitposters gonna shitpost. Until it's actually illegal to shit on the cultural commons of civilization, pe

This would have to work by individuals or organizations building a good reputation over time, so their specific output is trusted. The fact that an LLM outputted the text is not nearly as relevant as whether anyone has staked their reputati

Grammar, spelling, and punctuation have never been _proof_ of good communication, they were just _correlated_ with it. Both emails are equally bad from a communication purist viewpoint, it's just that one has the traditional markers of

Often it was possible to tell these apart on repeat interactions.

They don't have to, the fandom will do it for free. EDIT: Also, the odds are close to 100%.

Human shitposting is at least entertaining.

All this can go to 100x with generative AI, unfortunately. I don't even know anymore where to get reliable information about...anything.

Netflix's product isn't as good as social media is for getting past our defenses. Also, TV shows must be made for the masses so the propaganda is frequently obvious and the content is less addictive.

Social media is far worse because (A) cutting off social media cuts part of your social connections too (B) social media is an effectively infinite feed so it's harder to get bored and ignore it (C) social media is algorithmically cust

I think you're in the vast majority, because one of the precedents for VR headsets is COVID masking, and people didn't like that physical experience even if they needed the sense of safety. I also think the videochat fizzle post-C

Ballmer didn't understand that phones would become a very strong consumption device. If we were just talking about productive work and phone calls he'd be right. What niche do VR headsets fill in user demand that is currently unfi
